1936 Map of Tishomingo
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Tishomingo serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Mississippi, where the Illinois Central railroad intersects the Natchez Trace. The landscape is dominated by the Tennessee Divide, a significant terrain feature that influences the drainage of numerous watercourses like Cripple Deer Creek and Bear Creek. The rural social fabric of the 1930s is clearly visible through its network of country schools and churches, including Providence Sch and St Peters Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as Nunley Cem. The presence of the Pollard Mill Pond and Milford Spring suggests a reliance on local water resources for both industry and community life before mid-century modernization. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs by the Tennessee Valley Authority, captures the transition of the region as State Highway No 25 began to formalize the local road system.
